▲关于“表语形容词”可以作后置定语的说法,其实质就是定语从句的变式,因为定语从句都是后置的。这时的形容词仍然是表语的身份,不是定语。以a-开头的形容词(a要弱读),一般都属这种情况。afraid 害怕的;alike 相似的;alive 活着的;alone 单独的; apart 分开的;ashamed 羞愧的; asleep 睡着的;available 可获得的;可找到的; aware 意识到的;awake 醒着的。例如:
1. We saw nothing alive. = We saw nothing that was alive.
2. He is the most famous pianist alive today. =He is the most famous pianist who is alive today.
▲有些形容词作表语还是作定语,意义不同。
certain 当然的(表语) 某个,特定的(定语)
complete 完成的,完美的(表语) 完全的(定语)
ill 有病的(表语) 坏的(定语)
late 晚的,迟到的(表语) 已故的;新近的(定语)
present 出席的,参加的(表语) 目前的(定语)
ready 准备好的;愿意的(表语) 现成的(定语)
responsible 承担责任的 (表语) 尽责的,有责任心的(定语)
1. There are one hundred members present. =There are one hundred members who are present. (出席的)
2. This is the manager responsible. =This is the manager who is responsible. (负责的)
